20
Q

What do you use when comparing all charged molecules?

A

logD

21
Q

What happens to logD in acidic drugs when pKa increases?

A

More ionised = logD decreases

22
Q

What happens to logD in basic drugs when pKa increases?

A

LogD increases

23
Q

Describe fluorine

A

BUT larger than H atom

25
Q

When you add F to an acid what happens?
CH3COOH —-> CH2FCOOH

A

pKa decreases = increased acidity
